Awesomatix has confirmed that their factory driver Lucas Urbain will travel Stateside for next month’s MonTech New York Grand Prix, the seventh edition of the high profile US indoor race taking place at 360v2 RC in New Rochelle from October 16-19th. The French Touring Car driver, who secured the TQ and a podium at the most recent round of the ETS in Luxembourg, is the first international entry announcement for this year’s edition and will be looking to take the fight to North America’s leading drivers. Last year it was Awesomatix’s Kemp Anderson and Xray’s Keven Hebert who came away as the big winners securing victory in Mod 1:12 and Mod Touring Car respectively. The vision of long time 1:12 racer Donny Lia, the NYGP is the nearest thing RC will get to having a race in Time Square, the track just a 20-minute train ride from the centre of the City That Never Sleeps. Counting multiple World Champions Marc Rheinard (2022 NYGP Winner), Ronald Volker (2019 NYGP Winner), Alexander Hagberg, reigning 1:12 Stock World Champion Max Mächler and Ollie Payne as previous participants, 360V2 is one of the biggest indoor tracks in the US with racing takes place on a track layout covering an area of 105 X 48 feet.

Awesomatix has released a number of new option parts for their A800 1:10 Electric Touring Car platforms. A number of new 3.0mm optional carbon parts include the AM14-RC Steering Arm which matches the most used AM14LS hole pattern (outside hole) but offers an additional new inside hole position for bigger ackermann.

Suitable for A800FX / A800FX Evo and A800FXR, the latest parts release includes a carbon Front Top Deck. Away from new carbon parts Awesomatix has added an optional Heavy Duty 351mm high-performance drive belt for high power applications.

2 from 2 for Urbain in French Nationals

Having opened the French National Championship with a win last month, Awesomatix Lucas Urbain made it 2 from two with another win this time at the MRC Longvic track near Dijon. Wrapping up an early TQ ahead of RC Maker’s Antoine Brunet and the Mugen Seiki of multiple National Champion Remi Callens, in the triple finals Urbain found himself under more pressure. With Callens taking A1 from Brunet and French Touring Car stalwart Cyril N Diaye, Urbain bounced back to take A2 after being pushed hard by Brunet. With A3 the decider, Urbain managed to again keep Brunet at bay to claim maximum points towards the 5 round championship. With his A1 win Callens claimed 2nd on the tie break with Brunet. In 13.5 Pro-Stock Enzo Rousselin took both the TQ and the win ahead of Benjamin Elbisser and Alexandre Duchet.
